"Judging by your reaction, have you always been on your own?" Wang Daolin asked nonchalantly.

Originally, he was just chatting and asking casually, but it turned out to be a silence from Lao Hei.

It wasn't until the whole cigarette was smoked that Lao Hei snuffed out the cigarette butt fiercely, and then said lightly: "Well, now it is." ”

"And now?" Wang Daolin noticed the mystery in the old black words, now is, what about before?

As if touching a weakness somewhere in his heart, Lao Hei didn't mean to hide, I saw the corner of his mouth twitch, and he actually lit another cigarette, and then took a hard puff.

Slowly spit it out, recalling: "I used to have a wife and a lovely daughter, and if she is still now, she will be about the same age as you." ”

Wang Daolin's face changed slightly when he heard this, and Lao Hei's words can be understood as many meanings.

"Where are they now?" Wang Daolin was piqued with curiosity.

"It's gone, it's gone." Lao Hei's expression was grim, and he looked ahead without squinting.

An imperceptible trace of pain flashed in Lao Hei's eyes, and he laughed at himself: "I am not a qualified father, my daughter was taken away by others when she was two years old. ”

"Taken away?" Wang Daolin's pupils shrank, and he said with some uncertainty: "Being trafficked? ”

"Hmm." Lao Hei nodded slowly: "I can't find it." ”

After a pause, Lao Hei said: "Secondly, I am not a qualified husband, my daughter was taken away is my problem, if it weren't for my good gambling, taking her to the casino and not taking a good look at her, maybe our family is still happy, but unfortunately, after my daughter was lost, my wife had a big fight with me and ran away from home, and I haven't come back." ”

A thick sense of remorse can be heard in Lao Hei's tone.

still remembers that when he first saw Lao Hei, Lao Hei was a downright greasy middle-aged image, and presumably that incident also brought a lot of blows to Lao Hei.

It has also brought a lot of changes to Lao Hei, at least now he has never heard of Lao Hei gambling again.

"Have you contacted her?" Wang Daolin asked.

There was silence for a long time, and after a long time, just when he thought that Lao Hei didn't want to answer the question and was about to give up, Lao Hei slowly spoke.

"I've contacted countless times, and I can't count it, she is like evaporating from the world, I have also called the police, and the police found her, and she was also two words, missing.

It is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, and the police can't control this matter. "The beloved has been strangers to him since then, losing his wife and children, but it is conceivable that Lao Hei's heart hurts more than anyone else.

Even if he looks calm now.

After speaking, Lao Hei smiled bitterly and said: "It has been seven years since the calculation of time, according to the law, the husband and wife have been separated for seven years and have been divorced, it can be said that I have nothing but that bookstore and a bunch of broken manuscripts, and I am undoubtedly a loser on the road of life." ”

"Everything will be fine." He sighed and patted Lao Hei on the shoulder.

Although he once helped Lao Hei, Lao Hei helped him more, and it can be said that they are now grasshoppers on a rope.

Thinking of this, he felt a lot heavier on his shoulders.

Without saying anything all the way, Wang Daolin looked at the slowly passing scenery outside the car window, and gradually entered the dreamland.

In his dreams, he dreamed of many people, most of them from previous lives, but unfortunately he never saw those figures again.

When I was woken up by Lao Hei, I had already arrived in Quancheng, and I set off early in the morning, and I slept in the car until now, my brain was a little confused, and I was weak, and I got out of the car and blew a cold wind before my mind was sober.

The winter sun caressed his face, making him squint pleasantly.

"We're staying here today, don't mind?" Lao Hei pointed to a guest house in front of him.

"Well, that's it." Wang Daolin nodded and glanced at the guest house, which was a very simple guest house.

The current economic development of this world is almost equivalent to the eighties and nineties of his previous life, and those who can live in hotels are the local tyrants among the local tyrants, and it is obviously not cost-effective to live in a hotel with their economic status, so the guest house is the best choice.

After entering the room, you can see that the facilities in the room are very simple, a bed, a bedside table, gone.

The two put their luggage down for a while, and Lao Hei proposed to go out for a meal, and he agreed without much thought, and now it was time for dinner.

After a simple lunch, they went straight to the Publishing House of the High School Affiliated to Normal University, before Lao Hei had talked to Su Hang, that is, the editor-in-chief of the High School Publishing House of Normal University, Su Lixin's father had talked several times, and this time he had also greeted Su Hang in advance.

It didn't take long to get on the bus and I arrived at the building of the publishing house of the High School Affiliated to Normal University.

This is a building built in the center of the city with a large area, and the strength of the Publishing House of the High School Affiliated to Normal University can be seen in the center of the city where every inch of land is valuable.

As soon as they entered, a young woman was waiting for them at the door.

"You're here, Editor-in-Chief Su has been waiting for a long time, please come inside." The young woman seemed to be Su Hang's secretary or something, obviously she had seen Lao Hei before, and Su Hang should have also greeted the secretary, so the secretary led them directly inside.

When he turned around, he glanced at Wang Daolin more: "Who is this little friend?" ”

Without waiting for Lao Hei to speak, Wang Daolin preemptively said: "I am his nephew!" ”

Lao Hei instantly understood, and echoed: "My sister's child, who happened to have nothing to do during the holidays, took him out to see the world." ”

The secretary didn't think much about it when he heard this, touched his head with a smile, and asked, "What a cute little brother, how old is this year?" ”

"I'm 10 years old! It's an adult! Wang Daolin pretended to be innocent and said.

The female secretary was immediately amused by Wang Daolin's answer, and said, "It's so tall when you're only ten years old, it's really a little adult~"

Wang Daolin is also in his early 1.4 meters tall now, which is indeed very tall among children of the same age.

"I'm not a little adult, I'm already an adult!" Wang Daolin said seriously.

"Okay, little adult, come with me~" The female secretary covered her mouth and chuckled, leading them inside.

After entering the elevator and going up to the top floor, the female secretary led them a little longer, and finally stopped at the door of a large office.

"This is the office of Editor-in-Chief Su." The female secretary said as she knocked on the door.

"Editor-in-Chief Su, the person you are waiting for is here." The female secretary said respectfully inside at the door.

Then a low, magnetic male voice came from the office: "Come in! ”

After getting Su Hang's response, the female secretary opened the door and made a gesture to Lao Hei to invite in: "Please." ”

Lao Hei nodded to the female secretary and walked in directly, Wang Daolin also followed, but the female secretary stopped him before he even entered the door.

"Little brother, your uncle is talking about important things inside, can my sister take you somewhere else to play?" The female secretary propped her hands on her knees and looked him straight in the eye.
